Icons

The new icons include Orc Clan - Worg--looks like a racial mount for the Mag'har Orcs allied race!

Models

New Models include Harvest Golems and the Mag'har Direwolf Mount.

Trespassers!

We need ta speed things up. The Horde has arrived in da city. They can't be allowed ta interfere.

Come then, seeI am the true power of the sethrak!

The key is deep within my fortress, Vorrik. Or did you think that I was foolish enough to carry it on my person?

No more talking, Korthek! Hand over the key to Mythrax. Do one last decent thing with your life.old friend. Surrender your key to Mythrax's prison. You would doom us all!

I must inform Vorrik of my concerns, but first I need to safeguard my key. I have a feeling something bad will happen very soon...

Together with Vorrik and Korthek, we sealed the tomb, with the hopes that no one will ever wake the giant buried within. We will not be doomed to repeat the mistakes our neighbors made so long ago.

... I don't know why I believed working with goblins would result in anything other than this.<Sigh> Did I really think working with goblins would turn out any other way?

Intercept the Alliance in the courtyard! Make haste to Nathanos!EVERYBODY, MOBILIZE! CUT THEM OFF WITH THE RESERVES! DO NOT LET THEM PASS! Saurfang, where the hell did you go?

Saurfang, now iso good of your time. You may claim the warrior's death you so sorely desireo finally show up, High Overlord.

We'll need toa travel through theda swamp. As long as we stay in the air and out of sight, we shouldn't have too much trouble.

Kaja, beneath us! What are those things?Kaja, beneath us! What are those things?

Everyone, break rank! Make your way to safety! Get as far away from these snakes as you can!

The city has fallen. Nothing was left in the wake of the epic battle between sSethraliss and my'thix. SethralissMythrax. Our loa gave her life to keep us safe, and we will not let that sacrifice be in vain.

There is talk within the temple. Korthek is eager to attack the trolls. They are a formidable race that will not fall easily. We've lived in peace for so long, why would he now desire to pick a fight he cannot win?

Let' us hope Rokhan and dae others make it back safely to Zul'jan... otherwise thdis will be a realvery short trip.

You do your part General, and I will do mine.

Quickly, scavenge what you can. Leave the bodies for the vultures.

Soldiers of the Horde! Your brothers and sisters lie wounded on the battlefield! There is no honor in this victory if we abandon our own!

Vorrik! You sEnough, Vorrik! I should hamve the sethrak, allying with these scumkilled you and your pathetic followers long ago.

You are right about one thing, though. The time for talking is over!

Impressive, Vorrik."old friend." But it will not be enough to stop me!

Mag'Har is just the Orcish word for "Uncorrupted", so technically all of the remaining Orcs in Draenor are Mag'Har. Could be Grommash has united the clans under his leadership?

I actually like the looks of this wolf. I could imagine some warchief riding this thing with this big saddle. Still hope that it will be AU draenor orcs but just them being called Mag'har instead.

* puts tinfoil hat on*maybe they are getting ready to ship the orcs at launch instead of the zandalari, with the trolls coming later with kul tirans, would make more sense story wise and faction wise. Atm the trolls joining the horde but the kul tirans not joining the alliance seems a bit off, also would be fitting if that was the straw that broke the camel's back, the alliance just going " ah hell no, those guys tryed to invade us, no. frikking. way! this means war!"

It won't be Kul'Tiran humans at the same time as the orcs. Orcs will probably be out before the expansion and the whole reason Alliance is going to Ku'Tiras is to recruit them. So it wouldn't make sense for that race to be before BFA.

It is likely Broken or Wildhammers.

If the Orcs are from Outland (and they must be, being Mag'har), why not their counterpart in Nagrand, the Kurenai? x)

I genuinely think we will get Kurenais during the expansion, although I don't think they'll be the orc counterpart. I think it'd be an end of expansion kinda thing. The reason why I think it will happen is simple : they developped, for 7.3, whole new models for Kurenais (they used to be models based on the Tauren skeleton, and now they properly use the draenei skeleton), and they already had allied races in mind at this point.

Plus broken draeneis have been in the Alliance for as long as the draenei, and they've been a fan favourite for a while.

I'd like to think the allied race would be the orcs from Outland, and that the Gorgrond map datamined will be edited to be a "updated Outland". I really want to know what's up with Outland nowadays, I want to belive it has recovered a little at least.

Ah, <name>. It is wonderful to "see" you. As you are no doubt aware the state of Outland in our own timeline is constantly degrading.

I wish to extend my remote services to your cause so that I might better investigate Draenor in the time before it was ripped asunder.

This projection may seem translucent, but I can assure you it acts as a perfect conduit for my own powers.

Will you accept my service?

Also where the hell are people getting Westfall Humans from? The Westfall humans are the same as the humans we have now. It would make no sense for the Westfall Humans to completely change.

Are we talking about the Harvest Watcher Models? Are people forgetting we are goign to a HUMAN Kingdom? I am sure they have harvest watchers in Kul'Tiras as well, especially in Stormsong Valley where I am sure a lot of farming goes on.

I hope we are still getting the Draenor orcs, not the Outland orcs. They have a lot more lore, and would give us 10+ playable clans. Maybe they've renamed themselves the Mag'har Horde after we left? It does just mean "Uncorrupted". At the very least, I hope we get the skin color options of the different clans, or it'll be a huge missed opportunity.

The Pterrordax mount can't fly? Haha. XD Also, YAY! Glad to see some of the Communities tech coming in! I have so much hope for that feature, being a somewhat shy person who doesn't like the constant in-your-business aspect of guilds or the attitudes often seen in pugs. A nice middle ground! People will have some accountability regarding their behaviour in the group, but they're not going to be notified every time you pick your nose, either.

Mag'har just means uncorrupted, so it could still be Draenor orcs. There is that Gorgrond map after all.

I wonder what the 4th alliance allied race would be if Horde gets Mag'har Orcs.

Kul'tiran Humans pls?

If the Orcs are from Outland (and they must be, being Mag'har)

Not necessary, Mag'har literally means in Orcish, "Uncorrupted", and since AU version of Draenor Orcs are now uncorrupted thanks to Garrosh intervening, probably more uncorrupted Orcs than our original timeline had (guessing). Furthermore, the armor state Clan armor, looks bit Warsong like but if it truly is being called clan armor then it easily could suggest the remaining clan Warchiefs/Warlords decided to ban together and united the clan (again Iron horde..) but call it Mag'har this time due them saying no to the Legion corruption.

Could also be named Mag'har since Grommash saw what future awaited him when Garrosh showed him ( the sandstone time stone...w/e it was called?, I think it was part of a mini-comic on Blizz site) he saw Garrosh life and his own future and Garrosh being part of the Mag'har, it safe to say both conclusions could be what led the creation of Mag'har on Dreanor.

I mean either way I don't really care cause I want my damn brown Orc to finally be able to finalize my fanfic story character:p but lets put it this way, Outland Mag'har --> brown Orcs. Draenor Mag'har --> multiple skin color Orcs (possibly, since I'm assuming its a united Orc clan just like the original one)

The giant saddles on this wolf and the gilded raptor are a little too giant. And as for the harvest golems, I would take the ship's wheel on its back as an indication of Kul Tiran make, not Westfallian.

Nah man, just nah... that saddle is no bueno. Way too big, I think we have enough big saddles with the new BfA pre purchase mounts. No need to add a saddle that big on a wolf. Blizz, I know you have your style.. but sometimes .. you just gotta keep it simple. (WoD wolves were awesome, I suggest going that way)

Lot more lore? They are the past, they have exactly the same lore as OL orcs (except the few changes that Garrosh caused). The Mag'har from OL can include all other uncorrupted clans if we unify them just as much as AU-Draenor orcs can. And I really don't want WoW to mingle with alternative universes again... It's a mess, one expansion was enough imo. Also, I think if it would be AU-Draenor orcs, they would receive the classic WoD wolf model and not a new one as a racial mount.

Seems the Gorgrond map is made for Warfront mode - it includes ally and horde battleships, so that means the allied Draenor Orc race would come from Outland, not from alt Draenor. And beside that Grommash presumed to be imprisoned for his crimes (Iron horde killing innocent Draenei children's and other stuff) - it can't be just forgotten, even if we have cinematic,when Grommash yells at victory as he made all alone and we just messing around, we all know he is crime, and alt Draenor nations can't just forgive him and live at peace with Grommash being an Orc clan warchief - that's it.

Omg yes, I’ve been saying we should’ve gotten Broken instead of Void Elves. But this idea is perfect! If it turns out they’re Draenor Orcs, I at least hope we get Arakkoa.

I was literally thinking that the Harvest Golems should get an HD model yesterday while leveling in Westfall, this is great!
